TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter finally got to experience playing against the New York Yankees.
“It was strange running to the other dugout. I almost ran to the other side a couple times,” he said. Normally the Yankees captain, Jeter played for the United States ahead of the World Baseball Classic and hit a two-run single in the third inning of the Americans’ 6-5 victory over New York on Tuesday. Jeter went 2-for-4 with a walk in a contest that “seemed like an intrasquad game” to him. After the Yankees went up in the first on Jorge Posada’s RBI single, Jeter put the U.S. ahead 2-1 with a two-out single off Phil Hughes. “It’s a good feeling,” Jeter said. “You have a sense of pride when you’re out there playing.” Jeter started the day as a Yankee, working out in New York’s weight room before the game and then returning to his regular clubhouse.
